Space, Time, Consciousness, Reality, Nothingness, and Non-existence

 Einstein, by his use of thought experiments, reached the conclusion that space and time happen to be the same. Space is the distance between objects, and time is the motion between objects in space. This means that wherever there is a distance there is also a time, and whenever a time also a distance. The fastest time in space is the speed of light. At the speed of light there is no time or distance. At all speeds slower than the speed of light there is both time and distance. Objects that emit light can be known to humans only if that object resides within the time of the speed of light. Objects that emit light but reside outside of the time of the speed of light cannot be known by humans to even exist or not exist. Because humans are always moving slower than the speed of light, they observe light as having both time and distance. Objects in space whose light has not yet reached the human eye are shrouded in darkness. They may possess potential reality, but they cannot be known to be real until their light reaches the human eye. They reside within absolute nothingness covered by darkness.

This fact means that only consciousness can determine that which is real or not real. Any object shrouded in darkness and unknown to consciousness cannot be real to consciousness until such a time comes that that object reveals a space between it and the consciousness that makes it real. How can anything be real if it is not even known that it exists. It cannot be real within itself because it would know absolutely nothing about itself. Any object which never affects consciousness can never be real even if it possesses potential reality. Consciousness makes all of its sense objects and thought objects real just as it experiences them because that is the very purpose of consciousness. All that humans call unreal is actually just false combinations of real objects.

These facts can only mean that every sense object or thought object that comes within the purview of consciousness becomes real because consciousness makes it real. Human consciousness makes everything that it experiences real. At any time that an unknown object becomes known to consciousness, a space exists between it and human consciousness. In other words, human consciousness always objectifies whatever it experiences. Human consciousness is here and its object is there. This fact happens to be true of even thought objects in the mind. A very tiny space always exists between a thought object and consciousness.

Even the idea of nothing is real to human consciousness because by the use of this idea, human consciousness can tell the difference between something and nothing. But the idea of nothing and space are not the same. Space is the real distance between objects. The idea of nothing simply means that "no thing" can exist between human consciousness and its object. The idea of nothing literally means "no thing;" that is, a negation of any object. But since human consciousness cannot actually negate anything it has already experienced, including the idea of nothing itself, then human consciousness can only use the idea of nothing to consider any real object to be equivalent to non-existence for the purpose of forming a system in experience or thought. For example, if a mathematician makes a mistake in his calculations, he considers the false calculation itself to be equal to nothing, not any of the signs and numbers he used to make his calculation. If a man builds a house, and he uses only lumber and excludes all bricks, he knows that bricks still exist, but he only considers them to be equal to nothing as far as his plan to build his house is concerned.

Humans never directly experience non-existence, only the idea of nothing which can indirectly indicate non-existence. Humans only experience that which is real because every sense object and thought object has meaning and is useful to human consciousness, including the idea of nothing. One of the uses of the idea of nothing is that it can indirectly indicate non-existence which is the same as unreality. But human consciousness never directly experiences unreality.

Reality simply cannot exist without intelligent consciousness. Time is simply the realization by intelligent consciousness that a distance exists between itself and its objects and a consciousness of any motions between those objects within the purview of that distance.

All of this also means that an Infinite Consciousness must exist in order for the universe to be real. Genesis 1:1 (KJB).
